Title: Recommend an arrow size please...
Post by: Red Boar on February 07, 2009, 07:34:00 PM
I am getting my cousin into traditional archery.  He just bought a K-Mag from the classifieds here.  His specs are:

50 lb.
28 inch draw
29 1/2 arrows

I want to get him going inexpensively, so I am thinking aluminums with 150 grain Stingers.  Do 2018's sound about right?   Thanks for your expertise.   :wavey:

2018s is about right at that length with 150 up front but you may also want to try 2016s if you can get your hands on some to try .

11/32's. You said "traditional" and wood is still cheaper than aluminum. I like  www.arrowwoods.com (http://www.arrowwoods.com)  Cedar is a good starting point. You'll break the first dozen so I wouldn't go fancy.
